Variable for text entry - Software Simulations

Good morning Ashley,

I am sorry that I'm having so much trouble with what I believe is something easy.

So after I enter your email in the text box, what should happen?  Should I press "enter", "submit", "tab", or click on the password field?

Also, how does articulate 'know' that I misspelled the text in the box?  Is it storing my keystrokes somewhere and runs a validation on what was originally entered versus what the user now has to enter?  If so, where is the original text keystrokes stored?

I hope you can see where my confusion is with this text entry.

Thanks again!
